Deviant: No Longer Human

Chapter 522 - 522: Little Cotton Ball!

"This is good!"

Behind the wheel sat a girl, her lips curled in a slight, knowing smile. Her face seemed to glow in the soft morning light—radiant and ethereal, like a lotus blooming at dawn, untouched by the world's dust.

Yet Wang Xiao, seated beside her in the passenger seat, could not share her excitement.

He cast a glance at her, noticing how striking she looked today. Her attire, though modest with full sleeves, seemed to cling in all the right places, forming her graceful curves. It wasn't revealing, but it drew attention nonetheless.

Something about it was… uncharacteristic.

She was never one to seek eyes on her.

At that moment, they were on their way to Wang Xueying's university—or more accurately, she was driving herself, eager to flaunt the new sports car.

The first they'd ever owned.

She handled the vehicle with an ease that belied her usual calm demeanor, taking swift detours and racing down less-traveled roads.

Wang Xiao, brow furrowing, finally spoke. "Aren't you running late for work?"

Wang Xueying's lips tightened briefly, her long lashes fluttering as if lost in thought.

Then, she smiled—a smile so effortless it seemed to melt the air around them. "Isabelle isn't coming in today," she said lazily yawning. "She's off for a week. I could skip work, and I'd still get paid..."

She had practically draped herself over him, served up on a silver platter, and all she got in return was a cold rejection.

'Is this man blind?'

But no, this couldn't be right.

He couldn't be immune to her charms.

She didn't believe it for a second!

He had to crack eventually.

She was sure of it.

Of course, she had no idea her behavior was falling into the realm of the classic "licking dog."

And for people like her, there was one sacred mantra: If you tell them, stop licking the other party, the more you lick, the harder they get.

They would confidently reply, 'If you lick hard enough, wouldn't it soften one day?'

With that in mind, Wang Xueying steeled her resolve and shamelessly peeked over his shoulder, her curiosity piqued by his phone.

Her eyes landed on the screen, and suddenly, the universe tilted off balance—

Little Cotton Ball?

"..."

'What in the world is this?!'

'I'm right here, about to gift-wrap myself, and this guy's texting to... t-to some cotton ball?!'

She leaned in closer, squinting at the most recent message.

And when she saw it, her soul nearly left her body:

'Good morning, Daddy~'
